    "Neo-conned"
    The modern-day, limited-government movement has been co-opted. The conservatives have failed in their effort to shrink the size of government. There has not been, nor will there soon be, a conservative revolution in Washington. Political party control of the federal government has changed, but the inexorable growth in the size and scope of government has continued unabated. The liberal (…)

    WASHINGTON — Investigators at the Education Department have contacted the U.S. attorney’s office regarding the Bush administration’s hiring of commentator Armstrong Williams to promote its agenda.
    The action was disclosed by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), who has pressed for a criminal fraud investigation focused on questions about whether Williams actually performed the work cited in his monthly reports to the Education Department.

    WHO IS ON TRIAL?
    By Peter Fredson
    October 19, 2005
    Today on the TV screen I saw a picture of Saddam Hussein in a prisoner’s dock in Iraq. There was a lot of empty space in the framework around the former dictator and I felt that other people should have been included. Was this not for crimes against humanity? Was it not for war crimes?
    I feel deeply that the entire Bush cabinet of 2000-04 should be in that dock. George, Dick, Donald, Colin, and Condi with Karl and a half dozen other (…)

    A 68-page booklet, entitled “Workchoices: A new workplace relations system,” released on the weekend of October 8-9 confirms the sweeping attacks on working conditions and workers’ rights at the core of the Howard government’s draconian industrial relations (IR) “reforms”, due to go before parliament later this month.
    On the eve of the booklet’s release, Prime Minister John Howard and Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews met with leading employer bodies in a one-hour (…)

    KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A former regional governor who oversaw the destruction of two massive 1,500-year-old Buddha statues during the Taliban’s reign was elected to the Afghan parliament last month, officials said Tuesday as results from two provinces were finalized.
    Elsewhere, U.S.-led coalition forces killed four police officers after mistaking them for militants during an operation in the southern province of Kandahar, provincial Gov. Asadullah Khalid said. The (…)

    If some of its key publications are any indicator, much of the American left seems unable to face the reality that the election of 2004 was stolen. So in all likelihood, unless something radical is done, 2008 will be too.
    Misguided and misinformed articles in both TomPaine.com and Mother Jones Magazine indicate a dangerous inability to face the reality that these stolen elections mean nothing less than the death of what’s left of American democracy, (…)

    CARACAS, Venezuela — Flush with oil money and political power, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is firmly implanting his socialist — and anti-American — vision at home and buying influence in Latin America and the Caribbean. A former paratrooper who spent time in prison for leading a failed 1992 coup, Mr. Chavez delights in portraying himself as the Latin American counter to the United States, a modern-day Simon Bolivar — the 19th-century Venezuelan-born general who (…)
